         E           ABirthday boy can't explain
          G#m  C#m          BChristmas eve    he's born again
       E             AOn the line a broken train
      G#m     C#m        BGoing nowhere    endless rain

         E       ABirthday boy so afraid
            G#m7   C#m         BPlays the machines    in the arcade


                 EOh baby do you remember
                  AHe's been through all this before
          G#m7   C#m        BSpent the summer    getting nowhere
       E                        ATaking all of the blame for the city
     G#m7   C#m                BCalculating    from pain comes pity


          E             AChristmas Eve a time of joy
         G#m   C#m            BIf you believe    in Birthday boy
           E                   AThis time around it's all a mistake
        G#m   C#m           BIs he deluded     or just a fake

                 EOh baby do you remember
                  AHe's been through all this before
          G#m7   C#m        BSpent the summer    getting nowhere
       E                        ATaking all of the blame for the city
     G#m7   C#m                BCalculating    from pain comes pity
